Open Letter from the President of Chulalongkorn University

Subject: Concern Regarding the Recent Unrest at the Thai–Cambodian Border and the Safety and Well-being of Our Students

Dear Students, Parents, Faculty Members, and the Chulalongkorn University Community,

In light of the recent unrest along the Thai–Cambodian border, which may have caused concern among some members of our community—particularly Thai students with families in nearby provinces and Cambodian students currently studying at Chulalongkorn University—I would like to express our deepest concern and sympathy regarding the situation.

Chulalongkorn University remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, regardless of border, race, nationality, religion, or any other differences. We are dedicated to fostering a secure, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone.

Please be assured that the university will not allow any circumstances to compromise the physical or emotional well-being of our students. If any student is feeling unsafe, anxious, or in need of support, we strongly encourage you to promptly reach out to your faculty’s student affairs or the Chulalongkorn University’s Office of Student Affairs (Chula SA), so that we can provide appropriate and timely assistance.

Chulalongkorn University will continue to take every necessary measure to uphold and protect the rights, freedoms, and dignity of all students equally—no matter where they come from.

Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, D.Phil. (Oxon)
President of Chulalongkorn University

“Education has no border, gender, nationality, or race — only a shared pursuit of wisdom, willpower, and humanity.”
